Hi,

I encountered errors when trying to instantiate the VirtualBox interface
through XPCOM on Ubuntu running as root - the CreateInstanceByContractID
call always gives back 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR). On the other hand running
the xpcom sample as non-root works fine. Sadly I currently can't launch
my code as non root (but I'll try fixing that). Is that simply a known
limitation that root cannot connect to the service or is there smth I am
missing?

Not a known issue. VirtualBox works just fine for me as root (I'm not using Ubuntu, though).

Anything in VBoxSVC.log which would give hints?
